Here’s What 6 Headliners Look Like When They’re Not at Festivals

Mar 06, 2018Olivia Steinberg

We all journey down different paths in our daily lives. Some of us are police officers; others are phlebotomy technicians, electricians, or bank loan managers, to name a few. When we venture to a festival, however, we remove our costumes and transform into truer versions of ourselves, meeting in a world that allows us to leave all our worries (and boring-ass clothes) behind.

Insomniac celebrates #TransformationTuesday by asking six unique Headliners to discuss their lives in and out of the festival.

Headliner: Isabella R.Age: 21Hometown: Mount Pocono, PAOccupation: Pharmaceutical technicianHow long have you been raving? 2 yearsWhat’s one thing you would do if you could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico?Going to Beyond Wonderland Mexico would be a dream come true! I would literally do anything to go, because I love traveling and exploring places I’ve never been to before. The music, people, atmosphere, and vibes are awesome at any festival, so I can imagine what a joy it would be to attend. To anyone who is going, have the time of your life!

Headliner: Ramon N.Age: 25Hometown: Coalinga, CAOccupation: Police officerHow long have you been raving? 5 yearsWhat’s one thing you would do if you could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico?I would make sure I could have my family from Mexico meet me at the event. My family originates from Mexico, and I have so many other family members that I’ve never met. I’m sure I could get them to join me there and enjoy some of the best music this world has to offer—together. It would be amazing to be able to enjoy the music I love in the place where my blood comes from. It doesn’t get any deeper than that.

Headliner: Dominick A.Age: 23Hometown: Las Cruces, NMOccupation: ElectricianHow long have you been raving? 5 yearsWhat’s one thing you would do if you could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico?If I could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico, I would rage the night away with my lady, aka my “rave bae.” We would look forward to meeting new people and experiencing the culture there. It would be the most memorable night ever.

Headliner: Amanda F.Age: 28Hometown: Jupiter, FLOccupation: Bartender/serverHow long have you been raving? 8 yearsWhat’s one thing you would do if you could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico?It’s a priority of mine to work hard, but to never give up on the things that make me feel the most alive! EDM and music festivals have brought so much positivity and good vibes to my life. I will always be a raver, and I intend on experiencing as many as possible. Insomniac events are always the best, and it would be a dream to attend Beyond Wonderland Mexico! I’d love to cross this event off my bucket list and add to my Marshmello tattoo while getting to see him and Snails perform in another country I’ve never been to.

Headliner: Beatriz M.Age: 28Hometown: Santa Fe, NMOccupation: Certified medical assistant and phlebotomy technicianHow long have you been raving? 2 yearsWhat’s one thing you would do if you could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico?I would totally invite my crew and family. I would love to vibe with people from a different country, since I have never been to a festival outside of the US. It would be amazing to connect with people from around the world while enjoying what I love the most—the music and dancing!

Headliner: Jordan J.Age: 21Hometown: Richmond Hill, GAOccupation: Bank loan managerHow long have you been raving? 2.5 yearsWhat’s one thing you would do if you could go to Beyond Wonderland Mexico?If there were one thing I could do at Beyond Wonderland Mexico, it would definitely be to see Trampa! He is one of my favorite DJs. I haven’t had the chance to see him yet but plan to in the future, for sure! I have also never been to Mexico, so I would like to try out a festival in a country I haven’t visited yet!
